not even close. He's like a really raw Andrew Luck. Bortles is a seriously gifted athlete with a big arm.

How do people claim that he has a big arm? He is not a strong pocket passer. He throws well on the run but has poor mechanics in the pocket (namely poor weight transfer and a far too narrow base unless he has all day to gather and follow through). He's also limited by what appears to be a shoulder that lacks ideal rotation and below average wrist strength - Bortles muscles the ball out while some guys can flick it. These issues combine to cause him to have velocity and accuracy issues when throwing from a static pocket.

LeFevour has an equally impressive build and was just as good of an athlete for the position (neither are by any means "seriously gifted"). They are also similar mechanically.
